Snow Won't Stay Away, Plans Another Visit to Long Island

Snow (of course) is back in the forecast.

It’s not looking like much, up to an inch of snow on Thursday, but after two major winter storms in a week, many Long Islanders are probably asking, “Can we sneak a sunny 50-degree day somewhere into February?”

A hazardous weather outlook is in effect for all of Long Island with light snow expected to begin mainly after midnight on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. The snow may be mixed with rain across Long Island and New York City.
